Chola song from PS-1 (Mani Ratnam) - Page 2

The best work of ARR always comes for Maniratnam movies! Loved the song in all the languages. Telugu n Tamil are specifically outstanding!

Tamil was the most rousing and emotional with a common man's touch to it. Hindi had an elegance and dignity. Though I was left puzzled when they translated "Soma ras" to "Prem ras" in Hindi. Two different sources of intoxication.

I don't like the lyrics (dubbed wale)

But then I always like the original ones.

QQ: Did Raavan also had remade songs? Coz the lyricist did a great job there.

Raavan was a bilingual and lyrics were given by Gulzaar and it shows as well. Thok de killi is mighty/painfully underrated given its lyrics. Similar is the case with Kata kata. The album is lyrically brilliant.

Telugu one is pretty good too. Mano's voice is very impactful! Coming to translation guess it wasn't syncing properly as Soma ras so went with Prem as har problem ki starting point Prem hi toh hain 😄
